Quote:We have too much depth up front to land any big time recruits right now.

Exactly. If I'm an elite big man, I don't want to go to KU next year. I'm not worried. Marcus will have to stay at the 4, and we'll have our quad-o-bigs.

Or if we get Barnes, he might be our starting 4. From what I've seen, he's better as a post player than Julian Wright. More importantly, he's big, strong, and athletic enough to defend most 4s other teams would throw at us.

Myself being a doubter of Marcus being able to play the 3, I'm wondering if Self really believes in Marcus playing there, or if he's saying this to the recruits and thus has to say it to the media. I'm not so sure the reason for this hasn't been for the ears of guys like Payne, Josh Smith (the high school one obviously), and Enes Kanter.

Can we stop with the recruiting discussions once the season starts?
This speculation sh*it on potentials/I heard on the internet/there is a small chance this might happen in 2010 dorking it.....gets old in a hurry.
